Not quite what I meant. I mean you execute part of the tree rather than 
until a given line. E.g.

example = DATATYPE
example.1 = SOMETHING
example.1.property = someValue

A break point of "example.1" would execute:
"
example.1 = SOMETHING
example.1.property = someValue
"
And show you:

example = DATATYPE
example.1 = $resultOfBreakPointExecution

Is this what it does? I think i've mis-used the breakpoint term...

I'll study this...
